Zurich-based Swiss International Air Lines has received its first new A330-300. The aircraft is the first of nine A330-300s ordered in September 2007 to expand the Swiss' medium to long haul network.

Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 772B EP engines, the carrier's first A330-300 is fitted in an all-new, three-class layout with a total of 236 seats (183 seats in Economy, 45 in Business Class and 8 in First Class).

"We are more than pleased to introduce the eco-efficient A330-300 into our fleet. Its true wide body cabin combined with our all-new, high-class product increases passenger appeal, comfort and style, while its outstanding performance strengthens our competitiveness and reduces the environmental impact at the same time," said Christoph Franz, CEO of Swiss.
